Excerpt from the peachtree road race: a race like no other
david matherne

2 one thing that makes the peachtree road race special is that it takes place each year on independence day. (1) american flags are waved down peachtree street, and nearly everywhere red, white, and blue is seen. many runners choose to wear stars-and-stripes as a part of their racing outfit, but no one is allowed to wear costumes in this serious race. that means no statues of liberty are officially allowed running down the road, as with other large festive races such as the bay-to-breakers 12k in san francisco. (2) because the peachtree is run on a holiday, most people have the day off. (3) they either run the race or cheer on the runners from either side of the street. there are tens of thousands of spectators all along the course.

which of these statements best summarizes the main idea of paragraph 2?
a) spectators and runners both make the race special.
b) the race is different from other races run on holidays.
eliminate
c) people dress patriotically to celebrate independence day.
d) the peachtree is special because it is run on an important holiday.

the statement that best explains why the tenth amendment reserves some rights and powers to states is that the framers believed in the principle of federalism. this principle says that some powers are in the hands of a centralized national government, while others are reserved for the governments of several states.

i think that the answer is substandard.

agamemnon was the leader of the greek troops in the trojan wars and orestes was his son. when agamemnon returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. after a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. he killed his mother, but greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. there are a lot of similarities with the ulysses/telemachus father son pair. ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to troy. he still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. while penelope is faithful to ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring ulysses. in the same context, telemachus is asked just like orestes to restitution his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. athena is him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father
